Gotta keep the foot on the gas pedal for this one. Glad our first encounter with the Sycamores is at home though, not that it matters much. Play like we have the last 3 games and this shouldn't be close. Play like we did at the beginning of the season, and that might not be a thing we want to see... Go Panthers!

This one HAS to be a convincing W. Real chance to rack up some efficiency numbers and get back into the Top 100 NET. Not that it matters for us but if it helps the league get an extra bid, I'm all about it.
FYI- 119 NET, 104 KenPom, 110 Torvik, 120 BPI as of 1/10/22.#MACtion

Agree, and Ben has shown that he understands that (TBT to when MSU's Twitter staff got their feelings hurt in 2020). As far as improving the metrics goes, a win by about 8 will be a push.
Trees are 9th in the country in rim & 3 rate. They're 50th in tempo. I've seen people with doubts on whether that run and gun style could ever work in the Valley. And maybe those people will be right in the long term. But if you're Indiana state, with the limitations that that athletic department has, I think trying something different and being proactive with analytics is not a bad call.Yeah, a D+ effort out of me on the day I created the name for this account. I didn't think I would use this account more than once.

ISUb is only showing up with 7 players tomorrow and no practice since January 4th. This is a must win and get some deep bench minutes game. And more so haven't had a regular practice since before Christmas. They've played with 8 players and used staff and team managers to fill in the holes.If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

I'm trying to post a pic and am struggling more than I should, but the link below should have a rundown of the ISU roster with who is available.
3 red Xs are definitely out.
3 green check marks are in.
4 for the remaining 7 yellows are available, 3 are not.

I'm not even sure we had a truly 'embarrassing' loss. There's a pretty good chance that every team we lost to is going to be in the tournament which is insane if you think about it.
Richmond and Wyoming would be the two that need to have the most success in their leagues.#MACtion

They were all embarrassing. Coach did not have the team ready to start the season and we were playing bad basketball. We started 0-3 at home, and had a 4-7 non conference record. Thats pathetic.

Well this one would be embarrassing if UNI doesn't take care of business. No disrespect to ISUb but they are clearly in the thick of it right now.
I'm curious to see which guys did not make the trip. Depending on who else is out, their lineup may not look all that different in the end. Of the 3 players that we know are out, 2 are benchwarmers.
Might not be a bad night for things to get a little chippy. A little foul trouble would clearly impact one team more than the other. It'll be interesting to see how the refs call it tonight.Yeah, a D+ effort out of me on the day I created the name for this account. I didn't think I would use this account more than once.
